Have been thinking about it for a while. I have 14 hens & 1 roo, who are my layers, but my girls are missing having babies around, been reading up on silkies and how they are so cuddly and great with kids. So I called over the weekend to a lady a few towns over who had posted silkies for sale. Went over today with my youngest, and looked at what she had. She did have a beautiful lavender, but it was a roo. I saw a blue black silkie I liked, held her & she went to sleep in my hand, 4 months. Then we looked at the buff colored ones, but did not see any to my liking. Then there was a partridge, gray/black with the beige color mixed in, 2 months. Nonnie with my oldest. Hard to see with all the black, Cynnie (for Cynder).
They are such beautiful birds. Never bought chickens from craigslist. But I'm really thinking to buy some Silkies and Araucanas from craig's list sometime.
